Pastor Dave started a new series titled "Happy Days" and it was something I needed to hear. Isn't it funny when we go through tough times that the Lord always knows what we need to hear?
Here are some notes from yesterday:
Most everyone, at some time or another, goes through seasons of discouragement. Life often throws us curve balls! However, a growing relationship with Christ, living out his word in us, can move us from just surviving these times of discouragement to thriving in the midst of them. It's far more than just the power of positive thinking-it's living out the strangest paradox!
The strangest Paradox: "In all our troubles, my joy knows no bounds." 2 Corinthians 7:4
It's No Secret .... Life can be tough!
*Amidst life's challenges here are some common feelings:
1. I would be better off dead than alive.
2. My heart is broken.
3. There is NO hope.
Jesus himself said, "In this world there will be trouble."
Sometimes....
God changes our circumstances
God changed an impossible person
God opened a closed door
Always.....
God changes us in the midst of our circumstances.
God increases our joy.
God changes our perspective
God gives extra grace for hard times
(2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
After listening to the message I realize that God is bigger than all of my problems. I know that there is nothing too big for God to fix!
